“I have an 08 Buick Lucerne cxl under warranty. At times the instrument panel lights are so dim you cannot read the panel when the sun shines on them a bit. I took it to dealer and they replaced panel light. No help. They said Buick will not help them. Took it back and explained problem and they said yes, you and a thousand others. I contacted Buick division and they file my email and give me a long number. Dealer agrees it is a safety problem. When driving in mountains I want to know my speed, gear I'm in etc. It don't happen all the time so I am sure there is a simple fix. …”
